Condor VS Oem Subframe Reinforcment Plates

[TehE39]

I was curious as to what people on the forum thought of the Condor Speed Shop reinforcements vs the OEM ones?
The Condor ones look like they provide a nice flat surface, whereas the OEM ones have a cup for the front plates. I was thinking
that the Condor plates would provide more reinforcement to the area because they are completely flat, what say you?
I already have the OEM plates on the way, but I am still a little torn because I will be getting a mobile welder to weld the plates
and I was thinking they could mess up the OEM plates' alignments where the Condor plates would be tough to misalign.

The oem plates are pretty impossible to misalign. They are curved so that they fit the bends of the rear floor pan. They only fit one spot each and if you thread the bolt in to hold them, they line up perfectly. They also have holes in them for making rosette welds to increase the strength.

I havent looked at the condor plates, but the oe plates are $25 a piece and do the job even under high forced induction power

Awesome, this is the reply I was hoping for. Thanks!

I've installed OEM plates and they are easy to install. Use the bolt to align and the curve fits the body perfectly.

I checked out the condors plates. I think the oe plates are thicker (better) but i could be wrong. Make sure your welder covers them with paint and underbody coating after he welds them in. Dont want rust forming on that new metal
